NAPA VALLEY CHICKEN BAKE
Oh my! This is my favorite recipe ever! I sometimes triple the recipe just so I have lots of leftovers because it heats up well. It's so delicious! I got it from one of those old mailings that used to belong my mother-in-law, but she never made it. Too bad because my husband loves it... and I get all the credit for it! It had chopped green onions in the recipe but I HATE onions so I took them out... I forgot to list them for everyone else who likes them! Also, I recommend white COOKING wine because real white wine comes through too strong in my opinion. And just a note: If you don't follow my recipe and you don't like the way it comes out, don't give ME a bad review. You should have cooked it the way I make it.

Steps:
- Wash chicken.
- Pat dry.
- In bowl, combine the flour, oregano, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Place chicken in bowl and mix to coat chicken. This will help thicken the sauce.
- In large skillet, heat the oil.
- Brown the chicken. (I throw the remainder of the flour mixture in with the chicken in the pan so that it will thicken the sauce enough.).
- Don't cook too well as it will finish cooking in oven.
- Arrange chicken in 9-by-13 inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle with mushrooms.
- In separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and tomato paste.
- Add wine and mix until mixture is liquidy (I find a hand beater, on low, works well for this).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour mixture over the chicken.
- Bake, covered, at 350-F for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done.
- Remove cover and cook an additional 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes for sauce to thicken.
- Serve over rice.

Steps:
- Wash chicken and pat dry.
- In small bowl, cmbine the flour, oregano, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Dust chicken with all the mixture (this will help thicken sauce).
- In large skillet heat the oil and brown the chicken.
- Arrange chicken in 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with the onions and mushrooms.
- In separate bowl mix together the wine, sour cream, tomato paste, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the chicken.
- Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove cover last 5 minutes of cooking time.
- Tips: If desired, the top of casserole can be sprinkled with 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese 10 minutes before end of cooking time.
Tips:
- For a crispy, golden-brown crust on your chicken, make sure to pat it dry before seasoning and baking.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If you're using a 9x13 inch dish, cook no more than 6 chicken breasts at a time.
- If you want a more flavorful sauce, add a cup of white wine or chicken broth to the baking dish.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Napa Valley Chicken Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
